II is mistaken pietv TO berate those
who are present at a religious meeting
because others are not there. II is mis-
taken piety to lament-especiailv in p.b
lic-the low condition Of a church when
there are not q few in it who are striv
ing 70 do their duty. A retired swedish
sailor whom we once knew used often to
begin his prayer in the prayer meeting.
Lord, we thank thee that it is as well
with rs as it is. That seems TO rs to
express the true attitude of the Christ
ian heart, save when there have been
manifest deciensions in spiritual zeal
and fragrant dere1ictions in religious du-
~. Even IL one feels called upon in pri-
waite, to mourn what seems TO him de-
clensions and derelictions. let it be in
private. as between himself and God.
Rut il Is impolitie. to say the least. to
make these lamentations public. They
have q depressing rather than quick
ening effect True pictv does not hab-
itually wear Q mournfui cOuntenance.
1t confesses its shortcomings. to be sure;
it deeply laments them. But 1t does not
consider that its essence consists In eth

face towards the future and presses on
to few attachments. It does not wall, but
shouts "a cheerful courage on" lfiam-
entation would lead to future faithful
ness he might we'll lament But gener.

THE Canada Presbyterian says: Let
those Canadians who complain about
the GOODNESS of our climate read the
heartrending accounts that fiashover the
wires daily about evictions in Ireland.
Families are turned ont ia n1idwinter.

make their return impossible. One such
